Local Area

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is home to some of the most interesting and enjoyable attractions in London. From the ever-hip King’s Road in Chelsea to the more recently popular Notting Hill; the shopping heaven that is Kensington High Street; the fantastic greenery and scenery of Kensington Gardens; to some of London’s top museums which are located in South Kensington.

Today, amongst other things, Kensington and Chelsea is the most affluent borough in Britain. Whilst this means that the area is home to some of the priciest properties and features some of the most luxurious boutiques and restaurants in the country, there’s still plenty to enjoy for people on any budget. Visitors come to Kensington and Chelsea to explore many of the area’s attractions, whilst at the same time, the pretty area has some lovely streets and squares, and is generally very safe so a great part of London to stay in. There are also plenty of restaurants for all budgets, and entertainment options (pubs, bars, clubs, cinemas and theatres) plus very good shopping opportunities so there’s plenty to keep you occupied. We have put together a small list of places we recommend.
